As were the original modes named after regions of ancient Greece, so are these new superdiatonic extensions. The one between Ionian and Dorian is called Corinthian, after the Greek island of Corinth, set up so that the Ionian -> Corinthian -> Dorian cyclic sequence will resemble the columns of ancient Greek architecture. The mode cyclically placed between Mixolydian and Aeolian, which is the symmetrical LLsLLLsLL scale, has a number of noteworthy theoretical properties, in that it contains every modal rotation of mavila[5], and hence the entire mavila-tempered 5-limit tonality diamond; it was given the name of Olympian to match its unique status in this regard. | As were the original modes named after regions of ancient Greece, so are these new superdiatonic extensions.
